It can be a challenge to park in the downtown area, but when you choose to host your wedding at Masonic Temple, it is easier than you may expect. With a parking garage located across the street from the Temple, you can rest assured knowing that no one will have trouble finding a convenient parking spot and they will not miss a minute of your special day.

Parking Made Easy

The Masonic Temple Erie is a dream spot for any wedding venue. Your ceremony and your reception can both be held here. There are several different areas of interest within this historic building. The Camelot Room and the Masonic Lodge Room are two of the most popular for weddings. In the reception area, you will find plenty of uplighting and decor to compliment your wedding style.

The Masonic Temple is located on the corner of West 8th and Peach Streets. This puts it in the heart of downtown Erie. WithIn just a few short blocks from the Masonic Temple there are iconic portrait locations that will let your love for the 814 shine.

Located on West 6th Street is the Presbyterian Church of the Covenant which is known for it's beautiful, Gothic architecture and classic wooden doors.

If you drive due north on State Street we can stop by Modern Tool Square. Its' vine covered walls (in the spring/summer) offer a nice rustic backdrop in the middle of the city. However, If a more urban look is your thing then just wait until the vines die in late fall and you can take full advantage of the exposed brick walls of this courtyard.

Just a few more blocks north of the Modern Tool building is Dobbin's Landing, home to Erie's most iconic landmark, the Bicentennial Tower. The lower platform offers a chance to highlight the tower to the north and city views to the south.

One Spot for Ceremony and Reception

Outstanding Portrait Location Options

When you are looking for a beautiful wedding venue, you have a lot of options in Erie, PA. However, the Masonic Temple stands out as one of the most spectacular places I've had the pleasure of photographing weddings at. It was built in 1909 and remains one of the most distinguished buildings in Erie today. It still features original woodwork, marbled corridors, and outstanding ceilings, which makes it ideal for some truly amazing pictures. Here are some other reasons you may enjoy the beautiful Masonic Temple Erie, Pa wedding venue.

How can we book you?

You will get both! I photograph every wedding using two different cameras -- one dedicated to black and white and the other to color. The ratio of black and white to color photos you receive in your gallery may change based on your chosen wedding colors, venue, and/or preference. If you see a black and white image that you want in color, or vice versa, it is very likely that I will have it and can add it to your gallery.

I see mostly black and white Photos in your portfolio. will we get ANY photos in color?
